Floyd's Travels and Thoughts on Life: Visiting Looe and Polperro in Cornwall

After finishing my hike on the Cleveland Way in Yorkshire, I decided to visit one of my favorite destinations in the British Isles --- the county of Cornwall in SW England. I took a train from Filey, the end point of my Cleveland Way hike, and travelled to York. At York I was able to get a direct train to Liskeard in Cornwall. This trip involved traveling almost the length of England and I arrived Liskeard after 8 pm. I then got a train to Looe on the branch line and arrived late at night, after 9:30 pm and checked into my airbnb. Looe is a very picturesque coastal village and is divided into East Looe and West Looe by the Looe River and the harbor. I spent two days exploring this lovely coastal town. On another day when the weather was beautiful and no rain was forecast, I took a bus to Polperro which is another very lovely Cornish coastal village. I explored Polperro and then hiked the Southwest Coast Path back to Looe. Polperro is located in a valley. The pretty cottages and shops extend down the valley and then there are many cottages separated by narrow winding lanes located near Polperro's sheltered harbor. The hike from Polperro back up the coast to Looe was about 5 miles, and I encountered beautiful coastal scenery all along the way. Here are a few photos that should give you a feel for these two attractive Cornish coastal villages and for the scenic nature of the 5 mile hike.
